Is that your whole day? That's not enough food, that's your issue.

Losing weight isn't about limiting alone. Sure, you typically need to cut down on unnecessary consumption but starving yourself is a temporary fix. I suggest you talk to a professional or refer to your food guide and do some research on getting what you need.

Rule of thumb: Burn more than you consume. You still have to eat to have energy and for your metabolism to continue to work, along with the proper functioning of your body and brain. The "trick" is you need to burn calories. You do this by exercising, being active, etc.

No you should just be speeding up your metabolism therefor you can eat more and still burn more. I would eat all that for breakfast probably lol

i dont think so

[Cmasterson]

Well I'm just saying for myself however you're eating very little, where are your lean proteins? or actual MEALS?

[Asker]

eggs and whey protein

[Cmasterson]

I personally don't think thats enough, if you're wanting to lose under 10 lbs then it's important to make sure you're keeping your metabolism up and running and at night time after 7 when you're hungry it helps to drink lemon water because it usually hydrates you and gets rid of hunger sometimes.

You're eating the wrong things.

All fat and protein and nothing with fiber? I think you need a more balanced diet.

[Asker]

you are mistaken. i got a lot of fiber. and little fat. and yea a lot of protein.

[Tarvold]

Where's the fiber?

[Asker]

kashi

[Tarvold]

You know coconut water hardens your poo, right?

So the kashi barely evens that out. You need a real nutritional diet, not a collection of fads and expensive ingredients.

[Asker]

ur dumb

[Tarvold]

Well... yeah, I'm dumb, but you're the one trying to lose weight on a bodybuilder's diet.

You shouldn't eat within a couple hours of going to bed. What you are eating is fine and you probably still have some wiggle room to eat more tomorrow if you are working out as well as dieting.

Is this what you've eaten in the whole day, or just in a couple hours?

You need more protein. It will help keep you full.
